UMVA has learned that Aston Villa star Morgan Rogers is aware of the intense transfer speculation surrounding him, but is determined to stay focused on his football duties with England at the World Cup 2026.
Rogers has been linked with a move to Arsenal, as well as Manchester United, following an outstanding campaign for Villa, where he scored 14 goals and provided 12 assists in all competitions, helping the team win the Europa League and secure a top-four finish in the Premier League.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder seems like a perfect fit for Arsenal, who are still searching for that extra spark in the final third, and his impressive form has made him a hot commodity in the transfer market.
Speaking on The Rest Is Football, Rogers acknowledged that he's aware of the speculation, but insisted that he's trying to tune it out and focus on his game, saying that 95 per cent of it is just noise and that he's learned to use it in a positive way.
Rogers' performances for Villa have undoubtedly caught the attention of top clubs, and his role in England's World Cup campaign could be crucial in determining his future, with several top teams likely to keep a close eye on his performances on the biggest stage.
With a talented pool of attacking players to choose from, England manager Thomas Tuchel faces a tough decision on who to select for key roles, but Rogers' impressive form suggests that he could be a dark horse for a starting spot.
A strong World Cup showing could not only boost Rogers' chances of featuring prominently for England, but also significantly enhance his prospects of landing a big move to a top club like Arsenal.
As the World Cup gets underway, Rogers will be looking to make a lasting impression and prove that he's more than just a talented young player, but a game-changer on the biggest stage.
